Hawaii!

Hi everyone! I'm sorry about not posting. My friend sent me a very kind email that wasn't written in all caps reminding me to post something. Thanks for that reminder :). She also told me that I had 50 followers! Yay! I don't have any of my giveaway materials with me so I can't post rules or what I'm giving away, but I assure you it's going to be awesome! I'm getting back from Hawaii on Sunday the 26th, so I will probably post the giveaway information then or on Monday.

Now, for what I bought myself in Hawaii! There's a brand here called "Island Girl" that they carry exclusively in ABC stores. I know they have this store in Hawaii and Las Vegas. I've seen this branch in Hungary before but I don't think it's the same thing :). I bought four polishes for myself: Waikiki Dream, Island Sunset, Big Island Volcano and Mahalo Dream.




From left to right: Mahalo Dream, Island Sunset, Big Island Volcano and Waikiki Dream.






Island Sunset! The glitter in this is crazy holo but my phone didn't really want to pick it up :(





Big Island Volcano. I want to know who names these and how they choose the names! This doesn't seem like a color that screams "volcano!" at me.





Mahalo dream. Nothing much to say about this, except that it's a pretty purple :)





Mahalo dream is most definitely my favorite! Look at those flakies!

Hope you guys enjoyed! I'll see y'all soon.

Update

Hey guys, I know I haven't updated in a really long time. I'm sorry! School's been tough, I've been sick, yada yada. I'll try and update before finals, but I won't be updating daily until summer, which is only two weeks away. See you guys soon, and sorry! If I get to 50 followers I'll still do my giveaway as planned, so don't worry about that :)

Essie Coat Azure

Good morning! As you know, I love blues, so I love Coat Azure! I love the shimmer in it, it's beautiful! This was three coats with one coat of Seche Vite on top. I obviously really love Essies :)

See you soon!

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Jade Jump and Slick Slate

Hi everyone! Today I have some nail art for you guys. It really makes me crave Thin Mints! I first painted on Jade Jump and applied a coat of Seche Vite and waited for it to dry. I then taped off the part of my nail that I wanted to stay green and applied Slick Slate on the uncovered part. This was the result, and I love it! The Insta-Dris are SO opaque!

Essie Very Cranberry

Sup guys? I have been taking pictures, I swear, I just haven't had time to put them on the 'puter yet. This is Essie Very Cranberry, 2 coats. This is my favorite red!

My Top 10

Good morning! Today I wanted to share my top ten favorite polishes in my collection. I think I've posted manicures of most of these, but if you want some swatches of any of them feel free to let me know!

First up is my cremes. From left to right: Essie Lapis of Luxury, OPI Do You Lilac It?, Maybelline Banana Puddin' and Rimmel Steel Grey. The only one of these that is hard for me to apply is Banana Puddin', which is a bummer because I love the color so much!

 My favorite glitter. Those of you who read this blog should have been able to guess this! Deborah Lippmann Glitter in the Air. I love how sheer it is and how I can layer it over any other color.

 My duochromes! OPI La Boheme and Liquid Euphoria Dreamy. I honestly can't pick which one of these I like more... they're both so cute!

 And finally, my favorites, my holos! OPI My Private Jet, OPI DS Shimmer and OPI DS Original. I love how OPI does their holographics, I wish they would make more! I spent a very long time tracking down My Private Jet so I didn't have to pay eBay prices, and I'm so glad I did!

Hope you enjoyed! I'll post another one of these when my stash grows. It will be fun to look back at this and see how my tastes have changed (if they have!). See you guys soon!
